Second Life

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mpepper/slbib

Although many of my colleagues questioned the wisdom, I have used Second Life in my composition classroom before. While it is a viable way to engage students and to allow for 24/7 lectures, the problem really lies in a school's ability to handle the bandwidth required to run the program. In addition, one must insure that students don't move into worlds that are inappropriate (pornographic). The site above has a wonderful bibliography that is broken into categories including research, pedagogy and general.
